1 Statistics on oyster used in this table are based on yields of 7.413 pounds of meats to the bushel for market 

 oysters in Maryland, 6.86 pounds for market oysters in Virginia, and 5 pounds for seed oysters in both States. 

 In reports for previous years all oysters in both States have been computed on the basis of a tmiform yield 

 of 7 pounds to the bushel.
